For those who have been asking, Winston is safe! He was promoted to Chief Creative Officer of this channel and currently has an office in my art room. He's a bit crabby but his input is valued - I simply could not "rein" on his creative parade 😂
Now that your Christmas village is black, you can use it for Halloween too. Just add little pumpkins and skeletons and a graveyard behind the church, instead of the Christmas trees. My MIL does this.
Yuck. Experimenting is good, but sometimes it just doesn't work, so we live and learn. The mood is so dark due to the pandemic, that accenting your decor with black houses & trees just makes me feel even more gloomy. We all love ya, even if we don't always agree.
Danie: *shows village houses* Me: oh god no, She’s going to spray paint them. Danie: *zooms in and discusses the beautiful details of the houses, even reads out every single shop sign* Me: maybe she isn’t after all? Please god let her not... Danie: “Getting over my general obsession...” Me: oh no she is! Danie: *spraypaints village* Me: *dies on the inside*
My heart hurt when you spray painted that village! It turned out nice though, you can use it for Halloween! But I do really love the original vintage-y vibes and all the details in the houses. The dark tree turned out really nice! I like the basket with the material and lights in it :)
Thank u for making a thrift flip video. I took a pay cut recently and, though I am much happier with this new job, things are much tighter financially. I'll be lucky to get Christmas gifts for my family this year, let alone decor. This is a great way for me to maybe be able to decorate without spending an arm and a leg! Thanks for posting!
I was hoping you were going to paint the little village matte black! The gold details absolutely made the entire look. Love love love! Also, how do you not have at LEAST 1 million subscribers? Pure insanity.
All of your decorations are amazing!!!! I, too, had a heart sink when you spray painted the little houses, but wow, they turned out amazing!! It reminded me just what an amazing creative vision you have - always - even for Christmas decorations! Enjoy your beautiful home and have a lovely Christmas! Many cuddles to Kenobi!😊😊😊😊😊
I was SCREAMING when you painted the village black, it was so gorgeous!!!! As a black obsessed goth this was THE BEST decor idea I've seen in a looong while!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I could get into the spirit this year. 100 proof....is in the pudding. During a snow storm spraying trees over and over. That is determination. Nice job. Thank you.
I just wanted you to know that I save your videos to watch when I’m feeling “blah” because you make me smile, lift my spirits and inspire me. Thank you.
I like the village black and gold! Love that you weren’t afraid to be different and did what YOU wanted. I love it. There are 1,000s of Christmas villages but yours is unique! 🤟🏻❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎄🎁🎄
I really have to relax and watch your videos to the end before reacting. When you showed Winston in the shop but I didn't see him go into your basket I was crying noooo don't leave him!! And when you picked up the village I was noooo don't take that!!!! I shouldn't doubt you, I should have learned by now. The village is perfect and WInston has just the right amount of sarcasm to fit right in. Another fantastic video right when I needed it most.
I'm a minimalist (read "lazy and cheap") when it comes to Christmas decorating but you've inspired me. Hope this feeling lasts at least til I finish my coffee. Thanks for the smiles.
I love the stocking holders! Also I have that glass tree jar on my dining table right now lol. It was my moms. She use to fill it with holiday M&Ms...both candy jar and decor. I use it now to display little faux pine cones and other winter foliage because my cat loves to eat my fake pine decor. The glass allows me to display but make it cat proof
I say this every time I watch your videos: I would never have thought of doing that! But this time, especially - I would have passed on the J and O without the Y. How clever of you to transform them into such beautiful stocking hangers. All your decorations were so creative!
Oh... It's so beautiful. Dani, why does everything you do are always, always, so beautiful? Are you human? Black adds so much depth and it appears to be in another world. Alexandra and you are my favourites in UA-cam.
Very creative crafting! 👍🎄🎅🤶🚦 But I gotta say the black village creeps me out a little. More spooky Halloween than jolly Christmas. The rest of the black I can deal with just fine, but the village I'd personally prefer in original colors with building names showing. Great job being thrifty‼️👍🎄🎅🤶🚦
Awesome! I love to see people trying new things!! The glass Christmas tree is used to hold candies....that’s how I saw them growing up in the 80’s!!! Hide your favorites in there and see if Jeffery finds them! 🌟🖤
You always think outside of the box! Your vision is always so incredible! Black Christmas tree... black Christmas village... sound so depressing but you made it work! ❤❤❤
I love the way the tree came out-and-out I am definitely going to try that mercury glass technique! Those vases turned out gorgeous! I'm still on the fence about that black village though...but love the way you styled it with the greenery below. Is anyone else getting an "Oogie Boogie " (from Nightmare Before Christmas) vibe from Winston?
It is so refreshing to see decor go rogue! The blackened village, while not my bag- is very cool. I loved the faux mercury glass and all your modern DIY's.
I've hardly spent anything on Christmas decoration for the past few years...free for the majority of it! In our town we have a take it or leave it shop, which is a secondhand store but free. Just picked up some silver shatterproof balls today, along with jingle bells. We have 3 trees fully set up so far and my son will be getting his bedroom tree set up tomorrow, after he does some cleaning as a reward. $40 for a full green, silver and then a white tree is all I paid last year. All those trees are 6ft, the green one is fuller than the silver and white ones, but still a lot of fun overall!
I actually gasped when you started painting the village but it looks SO good! I want to find a village and do this! Such great creative and different Christmas decoration ideas in this video. Well done Danie!
That was fun! The snowman sweater was a keeper! Mostly because he looked more like a ninja. The "Christmas Snowman Ninja" could possibly be a new holiday tradition, and stand in for Santa Claus! 🖤💜🖤🎅☃️
I get your style and theme. Not really me but I am more bubble gum and glitter. I love that you do you. It looks amazing. I hope you have an awesome holiday!
My stomach dropped when you started spray painting the village black but i love the end result. Beautiful! The village and the reindeer stocking holders are my favorites. And Winston too!
I actually have the glass bottle you shared while thrifting. I use it for mouthwash and cap it with a crystal wine stopper. I got my bottle from Dollar Tree. Really enjoyed seeing you give new life to everything you picked up. 😊♥️
Love having my Saturday morning coffee with you. Great ideas. I think the tree turned out great. I can't spend much on buying new decorations and this is really inspiring. Love how the glass vases turned out. Merry Christmas🎄
For those who have been asking, Winston is safe! He was promoted to Chief Creative Officer of this channel and currently has an office in my art room. He's a bit crabby but his input is valued - I simply could not "rein" on his creative parade 😂
Giving a reindeer free reign in your art room sounds like "Claus" for concern....
@@pama.6410 😂😂😂
Oh so glad he is ok, he’s a cutie 😂
Lol I was just going to ask
You have the best sense of humour
Now that your Christmas village is black, you can use it for Halloween too. Just add little pumpkins and skeletons and a graveyard behind the church, instead of the Christmas trees. My MIL does this.
ha! good idea!
...and the black tree too with little orange pumpkins and some white gossamer stuff to look spider webby.
Yuck. Experimenting is good, but sometimes it just doesn't work, so we live and learn. The mood is so dark due to the pandemic, that accenting your decor with black houses & trees just makes me feel even more gloomy. We all love ya, even if we don't always agree.
Same with the black and gold tree!
I was SO offended when you painted those cute houses black, but let's be real: the end result was gorgeous!
Right? I literally gasped when she said she was gonna paint them. Then I accepted the decision after she started doing the gold accent.
Not really tho
They looked like they all went through a really bad fire!! Ugh no.
I'm hoping Winston finds his way into future videos. I like his attitude.
Anybody else want to cry when she spray painted that perfect village? Love your content but I would have left them as is
Danie: *shows village houses*
Me: oh god no, She’s going to spray paint them.
Danie: *zooms in and discusses the beautiful details of the houses, even reads out every single shop sign*
Me: maybe she isn’t after all? Please god let her not...
Danie: “Getting over my general obsession...”
Me: oh no she is!
Danie: *spraypaints village*
Me: *dies on the inside*
same lol
My heart broke
Came to find this comment. Still miss that village as is, i rewatched the beginning ugh
THIS HURT MY HEART TOO. Everything else was beautiful, but the houses deserved better.
Totally same!
My heart hurt when you spray painted that village! It turned out nice though, you can use it for Halloween! But I do really love the original vintage-y vibes and all the details in the houses. The dark tree turned out really nice! I like the basket with the material and lights in it :)
For real, this is Diagon Alley.
yoooo - true!
Imagine that while village painted a nice pastel pink?
Love that you went with unconventional decor, so pretty. You not only saved money, but it is 100% unique 🖤💛

the dark twist is genius
💗🎩💗
We all need a boost of DIY Danie enthusiasm in our lives.
My weekly dose of happiness is here !
Geoff's little one or two word opinions worked into the vids is priceless...his humor is so dry, but so funny!
I was hoping you were going to paint the little village matte black! The gold details absolutely made the entire look. Love love love! Also, how do you not have at LEAST 1 million subscribers? Pure insanity.
Love the vibe you created using the black and gold in your decor. You are so much fun to watch and I love your sense of humor!😆
Love the Tim Burton version of a cozy village!
My mom used to have that plastic tree and would fill it with Hershey kisses. Thank you for the inasvertant memory
Watching your creative process with the tree reminded me what an ARTIST you are! It's that fact that inspires me to express myself through DIY. 😁 ❤
Very creative and not the usual cookie-cutter, dollar tree look all over the internet. I like and appreciate your style. End product was stunning. 🥰
Only Dani would bravely go dark and create a beautiful holiday decor from thrift store finds! Blessed and safe days!
All of your decorations are amazing!!!! I, too, had a heart sink when you spray painted the little houses, but wow, they turned out amazing!! It reminded me just what an amazing creative vision you have - always - even for Christmas decorations! Enjoy your beautiful home and have a lovely Christmas! Many cuddles to Kenobi!😊😊😊😊😊
This video is nothing like the usual holiday decor you see on other UA-cam channels. I LOVE IT and I don't even celebrate 💁🏽♀️
I was SCREAMING when you painted the village black, it was so gorgeous!!!! As a black obsessed goth this was THE BEST decor idea I've seen in a looong while!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I’ll admit I had my doubts but you’re right: trust the process. It all turned out amazing!
I could get into the spirit this year. 100 proof....is in the pudding. During a snow storm spraying trees over and over. That is determination. Nice job. Thank you.
I just wanted you to know that I save your videos to watch when I’m feeling “blah” because you make me smile, lift my spirits and inspire me. Thank you.
Very cool....you do the most fun stuff...
I like the village black and gold! Love that you weren’t afraid to be different and did what YOU wanted. I love it. There are 1,000s of Christmas villages but yours is unique! 🤟🏻❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎄🎁🎄
I love the black village, the antique deers-stocking-holders, the old mirror-tree ! Girl, you were IN-SPI-RED
I really have to relax and watch your videos to the end before reacting. When you showed Winston in the shop but I didn't see him go into your basket I was crying noooo don't leave him!!

Lovely
You never cease to amaze me! Love the upgrade on the stocking holders and that tree & stand...so cool! 💚❤
Moody Christmas, lots of black and other dark colors and then SUPER CHEARFUL RED FELT WREATH!!! I love it. (And it all looks so very good.)
Love!
I'm dreaming of a mooooooody christmas 🎄 just like the one's I used to know 🎶🎶🎶
I'm a minimalist (read "lazy and cheap") when it comes to Christmas decorating but you've inspired me. Hope this feeling lasts at least til I finish my coffee. Thanks for the smiles.
God she’s so talented, I don’t know how she’s thinks up some of these combinations to create such beautiful pieces.
You cheer me up everytime I watch your videos!!
i am 74 yrs old never been into bright colours for the winter, but i am going to have a go, your deco is brilliant you will go far
When you first sprayed that villiage i was like "no" but then omg amazing and the final display is cute and still christmasy 😁😀
You are one of the best you tubers !! So creative its so contagious !!
You're so creative and then you add your fabulous personality-I just love your videos! Winston's snarky comments made me giggle, thank you.
They're all so beautiful and CURRENT! Well done Miss Danie.
Also... Winston is giving me serious Christmas Oggie Boggie vibes. Love him.
Omg those little black and gold houses are STUNNING!!
Xmas by night 😁🌃

I love when you laugh ....your laugh is everything!!!!
Oh... It's so beautiful. Dani, why does everything you do are always, always, so beautiful? Are you human? Black adds so much depth and it appears to be in another world. Alexandra and you are my favourites in UA-cam.
Saturdays: A cup of coffee ☕ and a cute DIY 🔨.
Merry Xmas 😊
Yes, nothing else.
morning!
@@DIYDanie Good morning from Chile 😊
SAME 🙌🏽😍
Nailed it. All the applause. That mantle=chef's kiss. 😍
I love all the black and gold decor.
Very creative crafting! 👍🎄🎅🤶🚦
But I gotta say the black village creeps me out a little. More spooky Halloween than jolly Christmas. The rest of the black I can deal with just fine, but the village I'd personally prefer in original colors with building names showing. Great job being thrifty‼️👍🎄🎅🤶🚦
Awesome! I love to see people trying new things!! The glass Christmas tree is used to hold candies....that’s how I saw them growing up in the 80’s!!!
Hide your favorites in there and see if Jeffery finds them! 🌟🖤
But... But.... But... The wonderful christmasvillage. I know it's a DIY Channel, but....
...I loved the colors of this little town before spraying.
Love Winston😻
me too 😂
So happy, so much fun. Keep being creative and sharing the fun!
You got some finds. I love it. I did mine in white bit I love the black. One friend did ginger bread. Oh my gosh I NEED a Winston seriously
I love the black and gold, so pretty. These were all really great upcycles and the way you changed the stocking holders was genius 💛.
I was hesitant about the black houses, but the burnished look at the end result was absolutely stunning and modern
I just love how you made everything go together. How brave you are! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You always think outside of the box! Your vision is always so incredible! Black Christmas tree... black Christmas village... sound so depressing but you made it work! ❤❤❤
I love the way the tree came out-and-out I am definitely going to try that mercury glass technique! Those vases turned out gorgeous!

Love these!!! Pro tip from someone who always forgets gloves - vegetable oil then soap.
It is so refreshing to see decor go rogue! The blackened village, while not my bag- is very cool. I loved the faux mercury glass and all your modern DIY's.
My heart broke when you started spraying the village. The new look is cool, but I really liked the original...
The houses is sooo cool. It increases value 10x
LOL your little village has a nightmare before Christmas vibe. LOVE your Christmas decor for your first Christmas in your new home.
I've hardly spent anything on Christmas decoration for the past few years...free for the majority of it! In our town we have a take it or leave it shop, which is a secondhand store but free.

I’m obsessed with this moody look! Everything came out amazing!
Beautiful I'm so glad you pick Winston.He's cute.
First time watching her videos and my gosh i can tell she’s going to me one of my favourite UA-camrs
Danie I mean really your creativity is astounding. Those deer and the houses!
I thought you were somehow going to make the O into a D so you'd have J and D for Jeff and dani
ha - good thought! Sadly, my dear partner is a GEOFF not a JEFF. 🤷♀️ haha
@@DIYDanie yes, I do now realise that (it's early in my defence)
@@Psychedelic-giraffe haha 😂 now I wish he was a Jeff, would have made it much easier!
@@DIYDanie Yay for the English spelling of Geoff!!!
Love you Dani, another quality offering! Big love from UK fans 🙌🏻🥰 xx
Very cool. I’d add something green to the red leaf wreath cuz it’s looking a little Minnie Mouse at the moment.
I actually gasped when you started painting the village but it looks SO good! I want to find a village and do this! Such great creative and different Christmas decoration ideas in this video. Well done Danie!
You definitely think outside the box Danie! Your creative touches turned out beautiful!
You have done some of the best DIY's I have seen all year. Fantastic job!!!!!!!!!
Hands down one of my favourite videos
That was fun! The snowman sweater was a keeper! Mostly because he looked more like a ninja. The "Christmas Snowman Ninja" could possibly be a new holiday tradition, and stand in for Santa Claus! 🖤💜🖤🎅☃️
I have sooo been loving your disposition lately..... your like a warm hug🥰 Merry Christmas DIY Danie
Love looking forward to with you will do next!!! You went above my expectations!! These are beautiful! See you next week.
It came out beautiful!! I love it!! You are so creative!!
Wow the stocking hanger hack! That was legendary! Hi5 to all of these ideas! Amazing!
I really loved the village! I think its a nice take and an easy way to get that popular monochrome look for wayy cheaper!
I get your style and theme. Not really me but I am more bubble gum and glitter. I love that you do you. It looks amazing. I hope you have an awesome holiday!
love all your "dark" christmas items. your living room is beautiful! Merry Christmas!
My stomach dropped when you started spray painting the village black but i love the end result. Beautiful! The village and the reindeer stocking holders are my favorites. And Winston too!
I love the black and gold vibe 🖤🖤🖤
100% will be trying the mercury glass technique and that black village... perfection!! 🖤🖤
Danie, these are really pretty! Nice to see other colors than Red, gold, silver, etc...
I actually have the glass bottle you shared while thrifting. I use it for mouthwash and cap it with a crystal wine stopper. I got my bottle from Dollar Tree. Really enjoyed seeing you give new life to everything you picked up. 😊♥️
Those stocking holders are genius!!
I LOVE Winston!!! He's the coolest 😎 and the house looks cozy. My favorite are the Reindeer and so creative. Great creations
OMG. I love your personality. SO refreshing!
Great ideas , I especially love the village.......muah🤗 , magnificent! Big Holiday Hugz 👍🏾💯❤️.
Love having my Saturday morning coffee with you. Great ideas. I think the tree turned out great. I can't spend much on buying new decorations and this is really inspiring. Love how the glass vases turned out. Merry Christmas🎄
Well done!
